Title: Descent 2nd Ed: Free Cooperative/Solitaire App
Post by: Nefaro on June 02, 2016, 06:17:49 PM
The new app, which runs the "overlord" in this cardboard dungeon crawler, is FREE.

Pretty sure a tablet version has been out for a short time, as I've seen a few people doing tabletop vids trying it out. 


Looks as if it runs much like the individual co-operative packs, which had been previously released in clamshell expansions by FFG, but does some of the extra work for you.  I think they've gone this route to make it easier in adding more packs in the future.. so they don't have to print so many?





This also begs the question; will FFG be creating something similar for Imperial Assault in the future? 




EDIT:

Kindle version is here:

Probably also available at other Android App stores.

Be aware that it requires the tabletop game Descent 2nd Edition (https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/descent-journeys-in-the-dark-second-edition/) from Fantasy Flight Games. 


This app is just a way to automate the Overlord player (the bad guy) in the game, since it's normally a "One vs Many" type. 

But FFG started releasing some fully co-operative expansion packs lately, and this is the digital evolution of that.



I mentioned the Star Wars themed Imperial Assault, because it uses the same system as Descent 2nd Ed.  Figured they may eventually do something similar for that.

Looks good, I was interested in twisting it for using for homemade stuff, like for a GM, Its free so I cant complain whatever it does
